One Way Witch

The hottest skating romance since Heated Rivalry and Icebreaker! This sizzling forced proximity slow burn is going to be your next obsession!¿¿¿💙 MATILDA I've spent years being the sweetheart of Stars on Ice - smiling, skating, and never quite winning. This season is different. I need that prize money, and I need it badly. What I don't need? Luca Vasvault. My new partner is perfect on paper: a gorgeous ex-Hollywood star with a body built for the ice. But in reality? He's brooding, difficult, and determined to make my life miserable. And even worse than that? He's the one man I can't stop thinking about. LUCA I'm not here to make friends - I'm here to fix my reputation. Stars on Ice is just another performance, and Matilda Stevens is just part of the act. She should be easy to keep at a distance. After all, she's everything I don't trust: too pretty, too polished, and impossible to read. Matilda needs to win as badly as I do, though, and our chemistry on the ice is undeniable. So we strike a deal: fake a relationship off the ice, give the public something to obsess over, and turn the attention into votes. But it's getting harder to pretend the way I feel about Matilda is just part of the show. And now, there's more on the line than just the competition...

The Jasad Crown

GEORGE FALLS THROUGH TIME IS. . ."Incredibly entertaining and intelligent." —GARRARD CONLEY"Big-hearted and inspired." —STEVEN ROWLEY"Funny, surprising, profound." —GRANT GINDER"Unputdownable." —LUNA MCNAMARALess meets the year 1300 in this exhilarating and thoughtfully genre-defying literary novel about a man transported through time in a moment of extreme stress, whose modern anxieties are replaced by medieval brutalitiesNewly laid off George’s internet bill is in his ex-boyfriend’s name. He’s got a spider-infested apartment, and two of the six dogs he’s walking in London have just escaped. It’s pure undiluted stress that sends him into a spiral, all the way to the year 1300.When he comes to, George recognizes the same rolling hills of Greenwich Park. But the luxuries and phone service of modernity are nowhere. In their place are locals with a bizarre, slanted speech in awe of his foreign clothes, who swiftly toss him in a dungeon. Despite the barbarity of a medieval world, a servant named Simon helps George acclimate to a simpler, easier existence—until a summons from the King threatens to send his life up in flames.George Falls Through Time is as much an inward journey as an outward one: an immersive exploration of identity and dislocation that pits present-day sensibilities against a raw and alien backdrop, a strangely perfect canvas for the absurd anxieties of our modern lives. It's a profound meditation on the nature of desire perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and The Ministry of Time.

George Falls Through Time

The Fire That Binds

Sunday Times bestselling author Juliette Cross returns with a scorching dark romantasy in her The Fire That Binds trilogy. In an alternate Ancient Rome, a powerful witch can control men with one taste of their blood - and her fate will collide with a fierce, rebellious dragon. A spellbinding gift . . . A plea answered by the gods . . . An unforgiving world where dragons rule Rome. Lela Bihari's village was invaded on her wedding night, her betrothed murdered right in front of her. While her sisters were either dragged away or escaped, Lela was sold to Valerius, a consul of Rome. When she tried to kill Valerius her first night as his slave, her bloodsinger gift manifested . . . and she was punished for it. Now she's paraded in front of the other senators for their amusement. But the dragon Trajan Tiberius, newly elected tribune to the senate, is different. He has no love for the brutality around him. When he frees Lela from enslavement and hides her, Lela is set on a path of vengeance, and using her gift puts her in more danger than ever before. Now trapped inside the walls of Rome while deathriders circle the skies, how can she possibly trust a Roman dragon? Especially when it is clear Trajan has ulterior schemes of his own? As her powers grow stronger, danger draws closer, and Lela realizes it isn't just her life at stake, but also her heart. Bloodsinger is an adult romantasy novel that contains dark themes, including slavery in Ancient Rome and self-injury, which may be uncomfortable for some readers.

Bloodsinger

There is a specific energy to it. Cafes and shops close their shutters. Darkness descends. 'The air begins to tingle', wrote John Dos Passos of twenties New York. 'It's tonight if you drink enough, talk enough, walk far enough, that the train of magical events will begin.' Barely four centuries ago, music, fashion, sex, architecture, art and booze first fused to create what we now call nightlife. It happened, strangely enough, in 17th-century Japan, in a remote marshland outside the shogun's capital. This den of hedonism and iniquity became a breeding ground for new ideas - and while the venues have changed, nightlife has been at the frontier of cultural innovation ever since. Up All Night is the story of the good times and the great ones. Who invented jazz? What did 18th century Londoners do for entertainment? Why was Detroit the birthplace of techno? Who built Las Vegas? And what, in our increasingly online lives, are we missing when we pass up the chance of a big night out? Join party historian Imogen Willetts for a guided tour of history's wildest nights out - piecing together tantalising ephemera and foggy reminiscences from shogunate Japan to noughties Hollywood, and every iconic scene in between. 'Spills over with colourful anecdotes . . . Reading Up All Night makes you want to put it down - if only to step out into the seductive, thrilling night' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'A sparkling cultural history . . . Its procession of nocturnal scenes is immersive, intoxicating and full of surprises' MIKE JAY, author of PSYCHONAUTS 'A jaunty, jam-packed history of big nights out that revels in spectacle and theatricality' EMMA WARREN, author of DANCE YOUR WAY HOME

Songs for the Sinless

Discover the instant Sunday Times bestselling dark romantasy set in a world where creativity and art are forbidden, and humanity's sins are monsters given flesh, from the author of Curse of the Wolf King. Perfect for fans of Geneva Lee, Raven Kennedy and Carissa Broadbent. READERS ARE OBSESSED WITH THE LIES THAT SUMMON THE NIGHT: *'If you want a brilliant fantasy, with a strong, determined, likeable FMC, vampires, found family, and so much more, then this is the book for you!'* *'When I tell you I was HOOKED on this book from the very first chapter, it's the truth'* *Oh my word!

Cannot wait for the next one'* *DON'T MISS THE SINFUL SEQUEL, THE WORDS THAT WEAVE THE DARK - NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!* The darkest sins taste the sweetest . . . When art birthed vicious shadow monsters hungering for those who created it, all forms of creative expression were banned. But the immortal royals destined to be humanity's salvation have their own monstrous affliction: the need to consume human blood. Inana's illegal storytelling has turned her fugitive. She has evaded capture so far, continuing to weave tales for the most desperate. Until a Shadowbane catches one of her performances . . . Dominic is filled with as much bloodlust as the shadow monsters he hunts, and he needs an artist to summon them. He gives Inana an ultimatum: serve him or he'll claim her bounty. As their tense alliance leads them into the heart of danger, the greatest risk is the desire growing between them. There's something more sinful than lust at play, and it could bring the world to its knees.
